On day 11 of my pre-op diet, I always do a protein shakes as meals, and a couple for snacks I could have up to 6 a day and they really seemed to help me with hunger, and lots of water and activity to keep your mind busy in between.

I arrive Monday at 6:15am... I had my pre-admission test done today and everthing is a go! I bought my gas-x strips, chapstick, and travel pillow today, now packing.... I have to say I am the only thing I am nervous about is getting nausea after surgery and getting my drain removed in a week

You look great, congrats and keep up the good work!

Oh wow I wasn't expecting that I thought I was safe with my Mirena... But even on my preop diet, aunt flo has come for a visit... Now I know why....

Fantastic! Keep rocking that sleeve!

Wonderful!!! I am so happy for you!!!

Good luck and keep us posted!

I was allowed coffee on my pre-liquid diet, but it has to be black, no cream and I have been using a sugar free DiVinci Syrup to sweeten it. I do know all doctors are different and I have seen others are not allowed caffine before you might want to check with your dr. first.

Yep, I plan on taking a pic before I head to the hospital next Monday.

I am July 1st also, having my surgery in Springfield MO. I am on day 6 of my pre-op liquid diet and doing pretty good. Lost 7 lbs. so far good luck on your journey !!!

You can do it! I am on day 3, yesterday really sucked but today is a little easier BUT I have had NO weight loss yet... That is a little discouraging.

I use a bigger padded seat, plus padded biking shorts make a real difference for me ....

Congrats! Glad to hear you are doing so good! Wishing you a quick recovery.

I started my strict pre op diet today ( for the second time... long story) I am on clear liquids and 6 protein shakes a day for 2 weeks.... I can tell that the protein shakes are going to get old fast, I have been collecting different kinds and flavors to try out... Nectar is my favorite but I have to get it online and I like muscle milk when I am on the go. The chicken broth I got is GROSS I think because it is low sodium.... I also started a gummy multi-vitamin and biotin... This week shopping list I will grab some B-12 some unflavored unjury protein and I think I am going to try the unjury chicken broth. Good luck everyone, we are almost there
